Traeger has agreed to a $1.5 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it misled customers about the type of wood used in its wood pellets.

The Traeger wood pellets class action settlement benefits consumers who purchased Traeger wood pellets in California or Utah after Oct. 1, 2015.

The plaintiffs in the Traeger wood pellets class action lawsuit accused Traeger of violating California and Utah laws by misrepresenting the type of wood used in its wood pellets. According to the plaintiffs, Traeger claimed its pellets were made from 100% hardwood when they were actually made from a mixture of softwood and hardwood.

Traeger, a grill manufacturer that sells wood pellets for use in grills, has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to this $1.5 million settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit allegations.

Under the terms of the Traeger wood pellets class action settlement, class members can receive a $3 coupon for Traeger wood pellets. These coupons will be attached to certain bags of wood pellets or will be available on shelves in California and Utah stores where Traeger wood pellets are sold.

The deadline for exclusion and objection was Feb. 1, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Traeger wood pellets class action settlement was scheduled for April 2, 2025.

No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive settlement benefits.

  3. Wendi D Harris says:

    We own a Trager and only use the pellets since this is what we are told to do. But 1 time we bought a bag used it to smoke some ribs and they tasted like melted plastic. After researching found out the pellets are similar to wood fireplace starters and must of had too much wax/oil for smoking. Ruined 3 racks of ribs and my smoked potato salad.
